We might never get to the next step or the next stage, and do what we really want to do in life until and unless we satisfy our current curiosities. Have you ever experienced a constant uneasiness created by a thought, which is so self-provoking in itself that it does not let you live in peace?

  • While you are talking to someone but your mind is constantly thinking something else: yes, the same thought which is causing havoc in your mind.
  • You are eating your favorite food, but you are still not feeling content: why? Yes, it’s the same thought which is causing havoc in your mind.
  • A time comes when you lose interest in most of the things around you. Yes, it’s that same one thought which is still clinging to your mind.

Sometimes you need to listen and pay attention to the voice in your head and not ignore it at all. The thought which is causing you uneasiness, if paid attention to, can do wonders and help us make the right choices. Never ignore your passion or a feeling of longing to do something because this might turn into that one thought which can create uneasiness and sometimes a feeling of uselessness. You have a lot more potential than you think♛

The good news is, it is never too late 😊

We all have heard this phrase – it’s never too late– many times but applying it and making efforts will help you understand the real meaning of it. Believe in yourself.

  • You want to talk or convey your feeling to someone but you are unable to do so because of XYZ reasons.
  • You want to give time to your creative side but you are unable to do so because of XYZ reasons.
  • You wish to go on a solo trip, but you don’t know what is holding you back even when you have money and a good amount of time in hand.
  • You have a passion for photography and you have recently purchased a new camera but you are still not using it.
  • You have so many ideas in your mind to implement and have all the freedom in the world but you are still not implementing those ideas.

Self-doubt and fear are two things that hold us back most of the time. Self-Doubt – Yes, we all know the meaning of it. What if we fail? Most of us don’t even start something because we fear. What if we fail or lose interest instantly? Yes, we do have some expectations for ourselves. Here I would like to say that first of all – be your own superstar in your head!

  • Were you even sure of the exact percentage in school you would get before even giving the exam?
  • Were you even sure of getting your dream job before applying for it?

Eliminating self-doubt will make it much easier for us to give a kick start to any task or desire.

Fear – No, I am not talking about the fear of failure. According to my, fear of failure is just another aspect of self-doubt because we have actually not failed yet. It is still just another thought.

Here I am talking about the fear of what people would say if we do this or do that. Most of us have been victimized by this thought constantly over and over. Hats off to those who were never bothered by this thought. 😊

Remember this: You do not need to prove anything to anyone

Avoid overthinking what others might say- Done with the thinking?

Don’t let this burden make your spark dull. The fear of what people might say might lead you to make the wrong choices. People generally forget about your life and actions in a few days but then you will be the one who had to bear the consequences if made the wrong choice.

Life is happening now and you are the sole master of it. You know exactly what makes you happy. Do not suppress your inner feelings, passion, and what you really want to do under self-doubt and fear.

A very impressive quote I would like to mention here that I came across on social media: Never allow ‘waiting’ to become a habit. Live your life and take risks. Life is happening now.
